After waiting almost 2 weeks for a collection, this is how the Tower Hamlets refuse service left the shared walk area in Vickery’s Wharf E14 6JS today. This as an #environmentalhealth emergency of your making! @LutfurRahmanTH @TowerHamletsNow @THLivingStreets

@Daniel_Sugarman There were many non-Jewish people who helped fund it and also back the campaign, including churches and the Quakers;it wasn’t solely funded by the Jewish community. My mother and uncle were both on the Kindertransport.

@debbie_xi Actually there were same sex kisses on British TV in the 1970s and in EastEnders in the mid 1980s there was the first gay soap character. There is also a gay character in the US comedy Soap played by Billy Crystal.

I have rarely seen the Jewish world so united in revulsion than in its response to this shameful display. Such conduct is the very antithesis of our core Jewish values and an awful Chillul Hashem.

Today’s marches sees two opposing movements united in the same racist fantasies

The horseshoe has met, as it was always going to.

Posting again, please 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚 because it seems the phrase “Genocide” is still being redefined by people who don’t have a clue.

The ICJ did NOT find that there was a Genocide in Gaza, not even a “PLAUSIBLE” one like they keep saying

Don’t believe me? Hear it from the President of the ICJ

Yet again your own refuse collectors have been littering rubbish @TowerHamletsNow when the bins deposit some contents when they are swinging. It a health hazard and you are responsible! When are you going to insist your staff collect it back up! Are you coming back to E14 6JS?

[Jack Gilbert @Jack_Gilbert_UK]

@TowerHamletsNow yet again your bin emptying van/crane tipped bags and other waste on the courtyard of Vickery’s Wharf E14 6JS as the unit swung open. It’s a repeated issue; seen similar unhygienic material on the pavement nearby. When will you return to collect your own litter?

[Kirstie Allsopp @KirstieMAllsopp]

This is an absolutely brilliant piece.

🚨 WATCH: Labour has released a video containing "antisemitic quotes" from Green Party candidates

[Barry C @Barry__Calder]

1/ Police Use of Force, from someone who has been there and faced lethal threat. Yesterday’s incident in Golders Green has understandably sparked strong reactions — particularly around the level of force used by officers to stop an armed attacker.

Here’s some important context.

[Danny Shaw @DannyShawNews]

Unprecedented for a police chief to respond so directly & swiftly to the leader of a political party - and completely justified. Polanski's endorsement of that comment demonstrated his ignorance of the realities of policing & the dangers faced by those officers.

[Jack Gilbert @Jack_Gilbert_UK]

I’ve never seen a senior police officer write such a letter. Police officers put themselves on the line to save lives and Sir Mark is right to rebuke Polanski for a dog whistle that makes that harder. A self-serving and crass electoral stunt on the back of Jews. @metpoliceuk

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.”

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

40 years ago, being out and proud meant me choosing to be open about being gay. Today it means being openly Jewish.

It may no longer be safe, according to the @chiefrabbi, but I’m not going back in the closet!

Here’s my first Substack post.

@realzoestrimpel You should raise it directly with the Kent police and crime commissioner https://t.co/tmycPfvhVA and the IOPC https://t.co/7NIQC0NazL

[Jack Gilbert @Jack_Gilbert_UK]

@SCynic1 I recall him coming to the UJS Conference and thinking that he was being controversial by calling for a two state solution and being gobsmacked at the level of support he received from Jewish students

[Jack Gilbert @Jack_Gilbert_UK]

@SCynic1 @CPSUK There is obvious intentionality so at minimum it would be a S4 offence. However, it’s also clearly a S18 incitement of violence offence, both to Israelis living in London & the Jewish community more widely. Treating it as S5 also limits police powers to investigate.

[Jack Gilbert @Jack_Gilbert_UK]

@HeidiBachram You’re assuming that she’s not an activist that appears in lots of other locations. I would suggest that that’s probably not correct.

[Jack Gilbert @Jack_Gilbert_UK]

@HeidiBachram I’ve suggested something you can do via a private message on Facebook. The police still have a duty to investigate.
